Robot task planning using semantic maps (2008, background): “This classification, that can be seen as part of an anchoring process [29], is the fundamental point in the connection between spatial and semantic knowledge.”
Efficient grounding of abstract spatial concepts for natural language interaction with robot platforms (2018, unknown): “Alternative approaches pose the grounding problem as an alignment problem [39] between sequential phrases in the input utterance and the map or low-level actions for the agent.”
The challenges of joint attention (2006, background): “Behavior parsing has been indirectly addressed by a variety of experiments in research concerning the symbol grounding and anchoring problem (Harnad, 1990; Coradeschi and Saffiotti, 2003 ).”
From pixels to policies: A bootstrapping agent (2008, methodology): “Inspired by the use of trackers to anchor perceptual symbols in the sensor stream [3], [4], we build and maintain a lowdimensional representation of the world state in terms of connected components in the visual image provided by the environment.”

Artificial cognition for social human-robot interaction: An implementation (2017, background): “Grounding (also called anchoring when specifically referring to the building of links between percepts and physical objects [40]) is the task consisting in building and maintaining a bi-directional link between sub-symbolic representations (sensors data, low-level actuation) and symbolic representat”
Towards semantic maps for mobile robots (2008, background): “Object anchoring [8] is a line of roboticsrelated research that aims at building up and maintaining the links between symbolic representations of objects (as in a logicbased knowledge representation formalism) and their images in the sensor data stream.”
